UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

CHARLES J. DANIELS, OF BUFFALO, NEW YORK.

GARMENT-SUPPORTER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 507,787, dated October 31, 1893.

Application filed March 22, 1893. Serial No. 467,197. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES J. DANIELS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Suspender- Fastener and Drawers-Support, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improved suspender fastener and drawers support and Will be ully and clearly hereinafter described and cla med, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a detached face view of that portionof the device which supports the drawers. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the suspender holder, showing also the upper tip of the drawers holder. Fig. 3 is a rear elevation of the same,showing the drawers holder complete and a portion of the suspender holder behind 1t. Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the completed device attached to a piece of cloth. F g. 5 represents a front elevation of the device attached to a portion of a garment, showing also a portion of a suspender attached to the suspender fastener. Fig. 6 is a sectional elevation, showing a portion of the suspender attached to the suspender fastener, the lower part of the device being secured to a part of a garment, also a portion of an under garment secured by its holder.

I The object of this invention is to provide a simple and effective means to be attached to a gentlemans pantaloons, to which a suspender can be easily and readily secured and as qu1ckly and as conveniently detached when requlred; and also to provide a conven1ent, quick, and effective means for holding a pair of drawers atthe same time, and as eas1ly releasing them when required.

Referring to the accompanying drawings:- Ifhe suspender holding device consists of a circular disk portion, 1, having a perforation 2, and a curved cross piece 3, the whole being formed 1n one piece of brass, iron or steel, or other suitable material.

The part for holding up the drawers, 3 or over-ails consists of the 'cifcular portion 4:,- and the upward projecting portion 5, having the curved pointed end 6, and having a perforation 7, in the center of the circular port1on 4, the whole being in one piece of material similar to that used for the suspender fastening. This device is put on to a garment by placing one part (the drawers supporter) on the inside, and the suspender fastener on the outside and then riveting or otherwise securing them together as will appear farther on.

The curved point, 6, it will be noticed in Figs. 4 and 6, is made to curve slightly forward and the perforation, 7. is made to coincide with the perforation 2, in the suspender portion of the device so that when the two portions are put together an eyelet 8, can be passed through each and through the garment portion 8, which is interposed between them and then rigidly fastened in any of the well known ways for fastening eyelets. For instance, any implement for fastening eyelets may be used. In place of eyelets, a screw, 9, may be used and will answer a good purpose, and in some cases, a better purpose. For instance, when a party puts on a pair of over-alls, the parts may be separated by removing the screw, and then reversed. That is, in this case the drawers supporting portion will be on the outside in the proper position to receive and support the'over-alls which are worn on the outside. Otherwise the eyelets are better, as screws are liable to get loose while the eyelets, (being equivalent to riveting,) are rigidly held in place. An ordinary rivet may also be used, for securing these two portions to the garment and together if desired. This device is put onto a garment by placing the suspender fastener on the outside and the drawers supporter on the inside and then securing them together as hereinbefore mentioned. Asuspender attached to this device is not liable to be worn or broken as the parts to which it is fastened being smooth and round are without sharp edges or points. Consequently it will last much longer than if secured with an ordinary button.

The point of the hook on the drawers supporter is protected when the suspender, 9 is attached as in Fig. 5, so that there is no danger of catching the fingers on it as the suspender is in front of it, substantially as shown in Fig. 5.

The suspender fastening may be used alone without the drawers supporter by using an drawers supporter, consisting of a suspender holder having a T shaped holding piece at the top and a perforated disk at the bottom, in combination with a drawers holder consisting of a pointed portion at the top, and a perforated circular flat disk at the lower end, and means forsccuring the Suspender fastenerand drawers holder to a garment, substantially as described.
